Jan 10, 2024 · The most iconic spot to see the famous San Diego sea lions is just north of San Diego, at La Jolla cove. You’ll find hundreds of California sea lions lounging on the rocks, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and even chasing fish alongside kayakers.
- Plan your trip. Firstly, try to find out what parts of the beach are open. While La Jolla Cove is open year-round, the Children’s Pool (Casa Beach) is closed from December 15 to May 15 to protect the newly-born seal pups.
- Respect, respect, respect. Both locals and tourists have a tendency to take the Cove for granted and forget its natural residents when going swimming or visiting the beach.
- Keep your distance. Whether in the water or on the shore, don’t get too close or take photos with the animals, wave selfie sticks in their faces, or yell at them.
- Expect a smell from (very important!) poop. La Jolla Cove may naturally be a little stinky from seal and sea lion poop, but visitors adjust to the smell very quickly.
